Does this replace Sonar's built-in encoder? If it does will we have to re-authorize (I believe I have to use the CWPA 9 install disc)?

Any chance you have a blurb sheet of the update?

The Sonar built-in encoder resides in TTSlame.dll, of which this is an update using the latest lame version (3.98.2).
You don't have to re-authorize if you did.
If you didn't authorized the built-in mp3 encoder yet, you either need the CWPA9 disc or a code obtained from CW ($20 or free if you ever registered CWPA9).

I should have included the lame 3.98.2 update description. I'll update the zip downdload to include it, and you can see it also here:

Note that I disabled removal of deprecated stuff to avoid any backwards compatibility issue.

Thanks Jose...

Just what I was looking for...

plz help....

platform x64
Bought sonar 7
paid to activted LAME
upgraded to Sonar 8
copied ttslame.dll to C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\SONAR 8 Producer Edition...

I even tried this from post \MP3 Encoder Was Working, but... - Still no work

First. you shouldn't have copied the ttslame.dll from SONAR 7 to SONAR 8 directory.
 
Install SONAR 8, and activate SONAR 8 with the x64 activation download (you get x64 activation from Cakewalk by request, as the 32bit version activation doesn't work with SONAR 64bit version and a 64bit version of Windows).
 
This thread has a download for the ttslame.dll that is installed with SONAR 8. Once you install SONAR 8 and use the correct MP3 activation to get the Cakewalk MP3 Encoder working, you then download the appropriate updated ttslame.dll from the link in this thread and replace the original with the updated tsslame.dll.
 
So, if you haven't done as mentioned above, maybe you want to uninstall SONAR 8, reinstall, and then activate the Cakewalk MP3 Encoder as mentioned above. 
 

The 2nd part of your post is referring to using the External MP3 Encoder config, which has nothing to do with the activation of the Cakewalk MP3 Encoder.
 
Sorry for all bold type, but it's a result from quoting appmus' post and I don't see a way to stop the bold type in the new forum reply dialog.
 
 

You mention that " you get x64 activation from Cakewalk by request".  How do you get that?

Of course you have to purchase the activation, first.

I think I emailed Tech Support or customer service and told them that I was running Vista 64Bit and SONAR x64 and that the activation file I downloaded after I paid for the activation didn't unlock the Cakewalk mp3 encoder for me.

They, then, sent me a link to the download link for the x64 mp3 encoder activation.

thanks

Here's my test on this with one of my songs.
 
Before update time to encode = 3:43  
After update time to encode = 3:00
 
That's a 43 second improvement which equals 12.5% speed increase!
 
Thanks! 

I am resurrecting this thread because I just upgraded to a win 7 64 bit system and I am confused by what is in this thread...hope someone can set me straight.

First, I own CWPA9 so every install/reinstall of my DAW, I have gotten the mp3 encoder activation window on export, put in my CWPA9 disk and it found my "permission" and everything was fine.  This time, using SONAR 64, I don't get any type of dialog...it just exports the mp3!

2 Questions: 

1.  How do I tell what algorithm is being used for my mp3 export?

2.  How do I get my authorized CW purchased mp3 encoder(which came with CWPA9) to work?

TIA.

is this ok for Home Studio 7XL?
